Answers:    It is true. If it keep coming on and turning off it will cost more money on your electric bill. It take more electric to keep starting the condenser and evaporator.
once you plug it within it starts more elctricity when you leavre it on it just runs !
If the section does not run, it is not using electricity. When the unit runs, as it first starts up, it draws a moment or two more amperage to get the motor started, afterwards it goes wager on to its running amperage. This takes smaller quantity than 2 seconds. You use more dynamism by constant draw than by resting for 5 to 10 minute intervals.

If your AC is constantly running, you have any too much heat for the component to remove, the unit is inefficient, or undersized for the application.

With the AC on, rob a good thermometer and put it by the return duct (air going put money on to the air handler). When you bring a good reading, travel to the supply duct (air coming out of the system) and take a reading nearby. Ideally you want a 20* difference. If it is less than 16 or more than 22, you enjoy an issue that needs to be address professionally.

Your system will use less current if it is allowed to cycle as it removes the boil in your home. Of course, if you live contained by a high-humidity area and own a lot of solar gain during the light of day, it will run constantly to keep up near the heat nouns. Look at insulating your attic, and planting deciduous trees on the south.
A waste of perkiness is in the eye of the beholder. If he hate ac its a waste. If you love, it it's not. The with the sole purpose exception would be if you keep it too cold.
